The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space repair project in Hamersville, OH, was documented through video footage up on our Youtube channel. Shown in this before and after set are the two main products that allow us to ensure the vapor barrier stays protected. The SmartSump sump pump is hooked up to drainage underneath the dirt floor in the crawl space, and was installed in the lowest graded portion of the crawl space. This sump pump will make sure that the vapor barrier doesn't flood. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, also seen in the after photo, will make sure this crawl space humidity levels are controlled 24/7, 365. The dehumidifiers condensation pump ties right into the sump pump, making for a completely automated system. The dehumidifier is pointed towards the access well, and is considered the world's most efficient dehumidification system. 

CleanSpace walls, SilverGlo insulation, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a Super Sump Plus, and rim joist insulation were installed to make this crawl space new again!

After encapsulating and insulating this crawl space, we installed the cherry on top, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier was invented by our Basement Systems team and is an exclusive product to our network, meaning you can only get this through us in our service area. Since being invented, it has been tested and tweaked over many years to have some of the best specs for a dehumidifier that does not have a clunky heat exchange core. 

Qualities and specs for this patented dehumidifier:

• Removes up to 4.17 pints of water from the air in an hour. That equals 100 pints a day!
• Automatic sensors to reduce energy use.
• Automatically discharges water.
• Special filters can remove mold spores, dust mites, and other particulates.
• Quiet noise level.

This dark and damp crawl space in Augusta, KY, was 8 feet tall and had a dirt floor. It was prone to flooding, which would leave the homeowners with unpleasant smells during the rainy seasons. We waterproofed and encapsulated this space for the homeowners so that they can receive multiple different benefits like: healthier air, added storage space, savings on energy costs, savings on framing repairs, and an immediate boost in home value. Seen in the "after photo" are all the main components like our SmartSump system, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The homeowner was very impressed with the craftsmanship of the crew, who made sure everything was sealed moisture tight.
